  • Title: Intracranial carotid artery occlusion with telangiectasia (moyamoya disease) associated with persistent primitive trigeminal artery--case report.
    Author: Tan EC, Takagi T, Nagai H.
    Journal: Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo); 1991 Dec; 31(12):800-3. PubMed ID: 1726231.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old female presented with moyamoya disease coincidentally associated with a persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA). Bilateral encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful. Moyamoya disease and PPTA might have a congenital origin, but moyamoya disease may be promoted by a PPTA. The hemodynamics of PPTA during progressive occlusive change in the internal carotid artery in moyamoya disease should be re-evaluated to determine its function in the development of moyamoya vessels.
